GRAVES OF THE BOOTHS.
xas 1ivinr rrseedi.n,s Tender Care so
the Dead Of HE Family.

The Living Trsgedian's Tsnasf Care foa
the Dead Of HE Family.
Whenever Edwin Booth, the noted
hagedian, comes to this city he always
finds time to visit Greenmount Gene
terry. He drives out alone in closed
carriage and carries with him several
beautiful floral designs. The old gar.
dener at Greenmount knows tho actor
we'll, and is literally paid for his work
in keeping the Booth lot in order. Mr..
Booth always greets him kindly, and
together they proceed to the lot which
is in secluded part of the large ceme-
terry. Mr.. Booth lays the flowers he
has brought on the graves of his mother
and sister; examines carefully the con-
dition of the lot; gives orders about the
planting of flowers and keeping in
order of the place, and then, after a
short while spent in sad reveries, re-
enters his carriage and returns to the
city. A plain but handsome monu-
ment marks the resting place of the
Booth family. 1t stands in the center
of pretty lot below the hill, and not
far from the Hoffman street wall. On
the north side of the stone arc the let.
ters .:Booth," below which, all round
the granite base, ivy is clinging in a
thick mass. A marble plate on the
north side of the monument has these
words: '.In the same grave with
Junius Brutus Booth is buried Mary
Ann, his wife. who survived him
thirty-three years" On the opposite
side is inscribed: ITO the memory OF
the children of Junius Brutus and
Mary Ann Booth-John Wilkes, Fred
erick, Elizabeth, Mary Ann, Henry
Byron" On the east side is found:
'.Junius Brutus Booth, born May !:
1885," and on the opposite side, "Died
November 80, 1852.'' Close to the
monument, on the south side, is q
grave covered with ivy, said to mark
the spot where lie the remains of John
Wilkes Booth. One small rose bush is
growing at the head of the grave and
another at the foot. Besides the large
monument, the only other stones in the
lot are one to the memory of Richard,
and one over the remains of Mary
Ann Booth. Arbor vitae trees are
growing in each corner of the lot and
rose bushes in different places. Mr..
Edwin Booth each year sends check
to the cemetery keeper to defray the
expenses of keeping the lot in perfect
order.-Baltina0re Cor. Boston Globe.

SUNK AT HER ANCHORS.
Foundering of the Jessie Scarth Near
manistee.

MANIsTEE, Mich, Oct. 5-The schoon-
er Jessie Scarth. of Toronto, bound from
Chicago to Midland with 22,0O0 bushels
ofcorn, ,foundered at her anchorage about
ten miles northwest of here last night.
The vessel left Chicago Saturday night
and came to anchor on Monday after
noon. She rode the storm all right till
last night when she began to leak,
badly. The crew set signals for assist
ance, but the halyards were carried
away and they could only make the
flag fast in the rigging, and, as the
weather was thick, it could not be seen
from here although the life-saving crew
were on the lookout. The Scarth's
yawl was carried away from the davits
on Monday night, but was secured again
minus all the oars and in damaged con-
dition. The boat was bailed out and the
crew of six men and one woman were
obliged to take to it as their
O'Clock last night, having only
some pieces of boards and the sides ofa
ladder for oars and steering gear. They
drifted with the wind and sea and about
midnight were discovered by the life
saving patrol just at the mouth of the
harbor. A line was thrown to
them and they were landed in
safety by the life-saving crew. If
the boat had been carried 200
feet either way 1t wOu d
have been drawn into the breakers and
capsized. The captain took the tug
Wheeler and hawser and started out to
see if they could get the vessel into
shallow water before she went down,
but she sank betcre they got there
She lies in about thirty fathoms of water.

The EiDELIIK BANK.
Schedules of Assets and Liabilities Filed
by Receiver Armstrong.


The comptroller of tho currency has
receiued from David Armstrong, the re-
ceiver of the Fidelity National Bank, of
Cincinnati, full schedules of the assets
and liabilities of that bank as they ex-
listed at date of failure, June q, 1887.
Owing to the great number of accounts
kept by the bank, and their unbal-
anced condition al the date of fail
ure, the production of full and accurate
schedules has involved great labor.
These schedules place the nominal value
of the assets at upwards of So, 100000 of
which more than half are classed as
worthless, or doubtful. The apparently
valid claims upon the bank, proved and
not yet proved, are about s., 800, 900,
while there are amounts in dispute ag-
gregating nearly 81, 100000 The sub
scriptions to the increase of capital
stock amount to 81, 1853, 900, but less than
half of this amount was paid in money
and, even if what was so paid should be
finally adjudged to constitute a liability
of the receivership, it will be nearly all
offset by assessments on original stock.
The liabilities to depositors are about
$500, 600, of which a little over $500, 900
appears TO be held locally. Banks and
bankers appear as creditors for more
than S3,NU,0O0, but some changes may
be made in these figures. On account of
the doubtful value of the assets and the
large claims in dispute, it is impossible
to make an estimate of what dividends
may be paid ultimately. The cash in
hand and the amount of assets undoubt-
edly good, warrant present dividend of
% per cent, and the receiver has been
instructed to prepare the checks and
schedules at once
